Project:Village Pump

Good day all.. I am trying to authenticate my email address within the MediaWiki, but when trying to generate the ConfirmationCode it returns with ERR: Feedback from the mail server: Unknown error in the PHP function mail().

As per MediaWiki there is a instruction on what to do, but unfortunately this does not apply to my .php script.

As per instruction there must be within the "sendmail.php" script an section called "$wgSMTP", but this does not exist in my .php script.

Info: I did setup MediaWiki on the Synology-Server and downloaded from PackageManager within Synology.

Question:

1. Can I just add the "$wgSMTP" to the existing .php script?
2. Do you have any other solutions?

Any assistance is highly appreciated.

Best, Tim

Blocked.

I want to create a project page for a tool I'm building on toolforge. Wikimedia_Product_Guidance/Starting_a_project_page implies that project pages should live in the main namespace. But when I tried to create one, it told me I can't. Am I misunderstanding something? ~~~~

That guidance is for Wikimedia Foundation staff, to ensure that there is community-facing documentation of work underway. That said, documentation pages of projects that are in the scope of this wiki are welcome here.

When you say "it told me I can't", what is "it" (presumably an error in the editor when trying to publish?), and what specifically were you told?. If you were linking to an external site, such as a repo on GitHub, that will stop you as you're a new user, which could be the problem?

They triggered Special:AbuseFilter/83, which prevents people with <10 edits, other than autopatrollers and WMF staff, from creating pages in mainspace.

Try now - I've adjusted the filter.

Aha, thanks both. @Marnanel, does it work for you now?

Working fine. Thank you for your help!

Is this flow or liquid threads or something else?

This is Flow.

Thanks. It's not terrible but it seems foolish to have two interfaces. Lack of edit summaries seems really bad.

Where do we log bugs?

The answer to that question would in theory be Phabricator, but Flow is no longer actively maintained and will be undeployed soon (hopefully) so any bugs will almost certainly languish for a very long time without getting fixed.

Ooh that would be very nice for some of us. I'm just looking over old stuff, most of which never got done, so I guess I won't hold my breath for flow to go.

(I see that development stopped about 9 years ago so it's already well past it's sell by date.)
